Low and Reverse Drive System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The low and reverse drive system consists of the following:
- Reverse side of the forward/reverse sun gear
- Reverse planet assembly
- Reverse ring gear and hub assembly
The reverse ring gear and output shaft hub assemblies are splined to the output shaft. The reverse bonded lip seal piston installs into the case. The return spring is held to the case by a snap ring.
The reverse separator plates are splined to the case, and the friction plates are splined to the reverse carrier. The pressure plate is combined with a mechanical diode one-way clutch, which is splined to the case and held in with a snap ring. There is a thrust bearing located between the case and the output shaft hub; and between the output shaft hub and the reverse sun gear. Located on both sides of the reverse carrier are white, phenolic thrust washers (4-tabbed).
